All in All

Unimaginable wonder
Unthinkable power
God of love
Coming closer
Responding to seekers
Your strength does not withhold
Your tender touch
Your breath brings life
But destroys the unjust
When we suffer
You are there
Holding our hands
Remembering the pain
When we rejoice
You dance with us
Lead us in your step
We don't want to fall.
Unfathomable depth
Merciful Presence
Powerful Ruler
We lay down
To give you the place
You are due
Does it look
Like home to you?

Fly and Burn

Father, we reach out to touch your Light, for your Light never goes out. It ignites our embers and makes our spirits soar! We won’t be afraid to jump, to leave all behind to pursue your dream. Your dream is to break every chain that binds the hearts that long to beat with purpose, to make every child a burning flame in your Kingdom of Light. Burn down the walls that keep us from flying, the ceilings that keep us from touching you. Release those that you have called to inspire others. Call them from their corners and breathe new breath into their lungs so they come alive and burn. So they burn with a common goal to awaken truth and identity even when everyone around them settles for the soft breezes of amusement. But not for long, for the burning children are coming, throwing off restraints, advancing into radiance; and their fire is contagious!

Heart Fire

My heart cries for freedom

My spirit longs to soar

Your love to pour through my fingers

Your touch to ignite souls

You call me to be broken

Broken for the sons

For the daughters

To be made whole

Love only flows

Through the cracks

That break us open

And expose our pain

My heart cries for liberty

When I see

A brother or sister

And their destiny

Make me one with you

Make me free to express

The love you put inside

The fire in my chest

I don’t have much

But lack is my greatest gain

For when there’s less of me

More of you is free to be

I may not understand

Your heart’s cry

But I know the One who does

So take my hand, and we’ll fly!

My Love

I don’t want to move

When I’m captured here with you

You show me love is true

And I can be with you

Anytime

Anywhere

My heart reaches out

And you are there

I don’t want to move

When you hold me close

Because I can hear your breath

You’re more real than life or death

I wish I had another word than love

To tell you what your touch has meant

You go deeper than I ever expect

You know what I need more than I ever will

I want to know your will

Because I love your thoughts

And I don’t want to move

Unless I feel your heart

Your rhythm is my guide

When we’re one, I can fly

No hindrance, no doubt

Can keep me from these open doors

I am yours

Don’t ever let my mouth confess

Anything other than this

I am yours

You make me beautiful

And worth more than I could ever be

Without you

I don’t want to move

As I’m here with you

But I will if you tell me to

Because all I want is to live for you

You are my love!

Renewal

I am so encouraged. I feel an overwhelming sense of God's pursuit of me and his mercy. He has opened my heart to desire humility and a renewed mind. I need my mind constantly, daily, hourly renewed. His mercy reminds me to not pursue my own ideas and ways, even if they seem amazing, but to submit all my thoughts to him. At times I am too rash. I make decisions because they seem so right. But if something is right but not of God, it's worth nothing. All I want is Him. A desire to seek Him burns within my heart. I pray that it keeps burning and keeps burning. True freedom is found when we have acknowledged our nothingness and found our being in Him. When we become one with the one who made us. It's how we're meant to live. There is freedom in His life. When will we finally get this and stop thinking so much of our own thoughts?

The Rain

It's raining. I can hear the drizzle right outside of our sliding back door. It's calming, if I let it be of course. I like the rain. It reminds me that everything is okay, because it is steady. Likewise, God's love is steady. Unfailing. When the rain stops I know it's not over. I know I will live to see another day of rain. Every day I can wake up knowing that God loves me. Sometimes that's all that keeps me alive. It's all that makes me hold on and keep doing what I'm doing. And when I feel like I'm going nowhere, and that all I do is in vain, I remember the rain. He is steady. He is faithful. He won't let me labor in vain, for I am his child. There are things I don't see. Sometimes I would like to see them, but he doesn't always allow me to. I don't always like to trust. That's just being very honest. But trusting is the only way that I'm going to live NOW. As much as I try to see what's ahead or grasp at some sort of escape, the now is still there, under the surface of it all. I must face it and embrace it. I must dance in the rain of the moment.
